The Original Wiring May Not Be Essential—in Repairing Spinal Cord Injury, the Question Is "When" to Combine Biology and Engineering

A 2019 review in Nature Medicine lays these two toolboxes side by side and argues that combinations should be designed not as simple addition but around the interactions between mechanisms and their timing. Dr. Exotaro reads it, adding what has happened since, up to 2026.
